| It’s a long walk to DC but I’ve got my walking shoes on
|
| I can’t take a plane, passer train, because my money ain’t that long
|
| America we believe, oh that you love us still
|
| So people I’m gonna be under to wipe away my tears
|
| I’ll tell ya, it’s a long walk to DC but I’m on, ooh, yes, I am
|
| Ooh yeah, but I know I’ll make it some day
|
| I know it’s a whole lot of rocks and rifts before I make it there
|
| Should’ve been going on yesterday, but today I am a leaving here
|
| I’ve got a dime for some coffee, I got a dime to buy me a cake
|
| I gotta see the president no matter what it takes
|
| I’ll tell yah, It’s a long walk to DC, yeah
|
| But I’m lonely, oh yes I am ooh, yeah, but I know I’ll make it some day
|
| I know that its a whole lots of rocks and rifts before I make it there
|
| I should have been going on yesterday but today I am a leaving here
|
| I’ve got a dime for some coffee, 'nother dime to buy me a cake
|
| I gotta see the president, no matter what it takes
|
| I’ll tell ya, it’s a long walk to DC but I’m on, ooh, yes, I am
|
| Ooh yeah, but I know I’ll make it some day
|
| I’m gonna step out of Jackson, our Mississippi town
|
| Through Alabama, haw, you know I’m Memphis bound
|
| North Carolina, Virginia too
|
| I gotta set my feet now on the national ground, yeah |
